“We were having lunch and all of a sudden we saw everybody turning their heads in the same direction. We saw a big cloud rising up in the sky and immediately understood it was an eruption from Stromboli. Some people panicked and left the beach but we stayed as the situation seems under control.“

Following the eruption, evacuation operations began on the island.
Stromboli is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea, off the north coast of Sicily, and is a popular tourist destination. ANSA also reported that the volcano was spewing out red hot rocks, and new lava spouts are creeping down the volcano onto the island.
Carmelo Saia,
According to an Aeolian island travel website, Stromboli has been erupting since records began. The Romans called it the “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean“. Locals refer to the volcano as “iddu”, a dialect word meaning “him”.

A few days ago, the Stromboli volcano also had an eruption already qualified as major by officials. Today’s eruption seems to be much larger.
